Vitalik Buterin spread FUD
Why the leading figures keep doing this is beyond me. Yes, he's an authistic weirdo, but I'm not sure if that's an excuse. Why can't these developers stick to developing, and stop trying to be "a calming and reasonable voice". I hate it when these people, who often has no understanding of the markets, does this.
I'm sure he did it to sort of lower the expectations of young and inexperienced traders, but what he should do is shut up and do what he's good at, and not become a regulator. We don't want or need bureaucrats, regulators or ""Washington" type of people. At least we don't need our own people to be those people. So please stop.
